Published in November 2016, American Dreamer: My Life in Fashion & Business is Hilfiger’s memoir of his rise from a small-town New York retailer to the founder of a global fashion brand. The book was written with Peter Knobler, who interviewed people connected to Hilfiger’s personal and professional life.

The title echoes the designer’s public image and the brand’s long association with an optimistic version of American style. Hilfiger began in Elmira, New York, where he opened People’s Place in 1969 using money he had saved from working. After early setbacks, he moved toward designing menswear and launched the Tommy Hilfiger label in the 1980s.
